Directions

  1. Whisk yogurt, chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is slightly cooled.

  3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  4. Toss shrimp and 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a glass baking dish.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

Recipe Note

Very light flavor and low in calories. Originally meant to be a side dish I made some healthy substitutions and added shrimp. I usually serve with asparagus, the entire family loves it.
